No but it might indicate whether they knew much about London and it's
traffic. *And if you don't know about London and it's traffic then you are
at a definite disadvantage discussingnthe subject with someone who is.

But as it happens, I do know what "TCR" usually means. What I was asking
about was the underpoass. I don't know any underpass in Tottenham Court
Road - because there isn't one.

The TCR underpass i.e the underpass under TCR. I would have thought even
you could have worked that one out.

Oh dear, oh dear - the Porky Chapman education coming out again.

Do a Google search for "TCR Underpass" - what do you get?

Three hits - two are from this thread - (The other is from a ****wit cyclist - and no, it is not
Ravin !!)

Yep - it really is in common usage.

Too narrow a search parameter.


ffs - you really are Simple.

We are talking about a mythical TCR underpass - I was demonstrating that there is no such thing.

On the other hand it is ****ing obvious that there is a TCR - well done for proving it.

What about nipping along the cycle path across the top of the
traffic jammed TCR underpass?

What is that?

That doesn't look as though it's the same direction as the underpass. It
looks more like it crosses the A501 (the underpass is part of that road) at
ninety degrees or so.

I think you are wrong, and the cycle lane is a neat alternative to the
A510, Euston Road.

I used to drive half a mile to the village for my newspaper every
mornig, but I desperately need some exersize, my duaghter who is much
more clever than me, suggested I wlked, so I strted doing that, it does
take a bit more than 20 minutes, but I do feel better for it!

Our local Asda is only 1km away. I would never occur to use the car for
getting anything trivial.

My Asda is 3.2 miles away!

But if it were raining I would go back to the car!

A few years ago I was on vacation in some exotic location and one day I
overheard somebody say that they couldn't go swimming because it was
raining.

How strange!

...Is there some biological hazard with rain I should be made aware of?

It sounds like it, if you find out what it is please let us know!

Well, since you say you take the car when it's raining. I hoped you might
be able to tell me.

I'm not very good at biology, or in fact, any sort of ologi's!

Or just people getting on with their lives the best they can with the
things they have to hand.
You have to admire their ingenuity.

oh for goodness sake shut up!

You only belittle yourself and demonstrate you inability to temper you
outpouring on subjects which you are only too well aware will cause this
endless debate.

Just raise this subject, with references, on "urcm" and let it fester
there.

I find my helmet useful. I am certainly aware of it's limitations but i find
it has many assests which are not related to "safety"

1, It carries my rear view mirror ( mounted LHS -- giving me a much wider
view of what is behind me -- but it is largely triggered to me senses by
using me ears too. I do have a problem in turning my head to look behind me
on the RHS ( too old, too many minor injuries in a fairly long life, and
lots of the flexibility of joints becoming lsuch that I avoid doing the
movement.

2. I like wearing a "hat" but, on the velo I find caps, wooly things, much
too sweaty in both summer and winter. In cold weather I put a inexpensive,
waterproof, cover over the outer. This still allows air to flow through the
helmet but it also keeps my head warmer on icy days. It also keeps the rain
off!

3. It also is a mounting point for 2 extra lights.
a. a small, 3 led powerful narrow beam LED light. Looking forward it
points in the direction in which i am looking. It is on in flash mode when i
am travelling at night -- and is simple to flip it into steady mode show I
want to alert an, eg full beam car.
b. On the rear I have a simple small random flashing 4 LED red light --
just another "different" signal to the ever unobservant motorist.

So I find my helmet a real asset!

Which underpass are you trying to describe? I am aware only of an
underpass under Euston Road. Is there one under Tottenham Court Road
(other than an underground railway tunnel?

Good grief, I thought even you would have been able to work that out.
There is only one possibility that could be used by cars and that is
where Euston Rd passes underneath the top end of Tottenham Court Road.
Even if you want to call it something else, there is no other place it
could have been.


You are a ****** - you have ****ed up yet again.

Wanking is lovely and extremely comfortable.
